I believe this is even better that Swarup's first novel Slumdog Milionnaire. In fact, while on his first work he tells the adventures of one character, in his second novel these adventures are multiplied for 6 and more. During the narration you are not focused on the discover of the murder,but are more interested in catching with the lives of the Indian people and American guy and you get anxious about their destiny. Swarup switches from dramatic to very funny scenes.While reading you are impressed by the comtemporary India, where you can find the best and the worst people, and by the way the author shows his opinions about Western and especially American society. I am looking forward to reading his next novel.

Having read Q&A (a.k.a Slumdog Millionaire) by Vikas Swarup, I picked up Six Suspects. Six Suspects deals with identifying the murderer of the rich playboy son of the Home Minister of Uttar Pradesh during a party at his farm house. Six suspects with varied backgrounds (a corrupt bureaucrat, an American tourist, a tribal, a Bollywood actress, a mobile-thief and a politician) are identified at the crime spot and the police need to identify the murderer. The stories of the six suspects are narrated separately painting a picture of contemporary India. Finally all of the stories are tied back together providing insight into why all the suspects are gathered at the crime spot and possess a gun. </p><p>Although the book is not a very gripping thriller, it still does a good job of narrating six separate stories, providing glimpses of India, tying all the stories together as part of the investigation and keeping the reader engaged till the end of the book. A good weekend read!
